Consortium Programs

For twenty years, Stanford has been involved with the Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies. KCJS is an advanced study opportunity on Japanese language and culture, and takes place alongside our overseas study campus in Kyoto. This program is administered by Columbia University and brings together students from more than a dozen American universities.

Stanford is now a full partner in the Consortium for Advanced Studies in Barcelona, a program coordinated by Brown University with six other U.S. universities that grants direct access to three distinguished Spanish universities. CASB grants students the opportunity to experience and explore the coexistence of cultures in the Iberian Peninsula.

As with the Stanford-run study abroad campuses, courses and financial aid will transition seamlessly for students who are awarded one of the semester spots at one of these two programs.
